How we format our Quick Reference Checklists
A peek under the hood
Section 1: Signs & Symptoms
​
Every QRC includes a complete list of the Signs & Symptoms of a specific medical emergency.
​
This is a great tool for training your staff on what to look for during a patient emergency. This section is also a chair-side reminder to ensure you have selected the correct QRC for the emergency presented.
Section 2: Immediate Actions
​
Every QRC includes a complete listing of the immediate action steps you should take once you recognize the type of emergency your patient is experiencing.
​
Under stress, we are likely to forget even basic emergency responses. This list serves as a cognitive aid so you and your team don't forget your basic life support actions.
Section 3: Clinical Actions
​
Every QRC includes a complete listing of the clinical treatments required by the emergency algorithm, including emergency medications and dosages as well as emergency equipment that should be utilized.
​
Medication dosages are especially helpful, as these details are critical and can often be forgotten when your patient's life is on the line. This section also serves as a great reminder for things you should practice during your mock emergency drills conducted with your staff.
